The bustling seaside resort of Blackpool has been named Britain's luckiest town after a study of national bingo wins.

But Glasgow was close behind with other lucky towns including Stockton on Tees, Newport in South Wales, Glasgow and Wrexham in North Wales.

The National Bingo Game Association said residents of the Lancashire town won the national bingo game 22 times last year at Mecca Bingo, winning cash prizes totalling £156,000.
